A contemporary pair of detached townhouses that balance privacy and cohesion. Located on Burke Street, the two homes share a refined material palette — white brick at ground level and crisp white iron above — creating a strong yet understated presence. The rear home offers three bedrooms with a family-focused layout, while the front home provides a compact two-bedroom plan, both complemented by single-car garages and efficient two-storey forms.
Cohesion in Contrast.
Burke Street demonstrates how thoughtful design can elevate urban living. Each home is distinct in scale and layout yet unified through material continuity and clear architectural expression. The composition of brick and iron gives permanence and lightness in equal measure, while the planning prioritises everyday practicality — from considered circulation and natural light to the integration of functional garages within a compact footprint.
From concept through to construction, Burke Street was shaped around efficiency and liveability within two compact footprints. The design responds to its urban context with two detached townhouses that maximise functionality while maintaining a refined architectural presence.
The floor plans reveal clear, practical layouts — a three-bedroom family home to the rear and a two-bedroom residence to the front — each integrating single garages, generous living zones, and well-considered circulation. Distinct yet complementary, the homes demonstrate how density can be balanced with privacy and individuality.
Architectural renders highlight the interplay of solidity and lightness, expressed through the pairing of white brick at ground level with crisp white iron above. This material composition reinforces durability while creating a contemporary, timeless aesthetic. Large openings bring natural light deep into the interiors, enhancing the sense of space and connection to the outdoors. Together, the plans and elevations showcase a careful negotiation between form, function, and everyday practicality — ensuring the homes are as liveable as they are architecturally coherent.
Filmed after completion, the Burke Street video captures the clarity and cohesion of the two detached homes. Material contrasts — the solidity of white brick at ground level and the lightness of white iron above — are revealed through changing light and shadow, giving depth to the architectural expression.
Interiors are simple yet purposeful, with layouts that prioritise circulation, natural light, and everyday practicality. From the compact garages to the carefully proportioned living spaces, every element reinforces the project’s commitment to refined, efficient design.
